In a sinister and totalitarian world, a state-of-the-art cybernetic warrior revolts against his creators and decides to avenge a people oppressed for too long. When Blazing Chrome was the direct descendant of run & gun Contra way, Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider leans more on the side of Shinobi, Strider and other Ninja Gaiden with its cyborg ninja as the protagonist.
Still in the register of side-scrolling action, this new title hopes to channel the sensations of the 16-bit era by bringing some modern touches, such as the possibility of gaining skills and improving them thanks to the chips scattered throughout throughout the 8 levels of the adventure.
“For example, some power chips allow you to double jump, extend the range of your weapons, regenerate your health points or give you many other practical abilities, thanks to which you can customize the way you play.“, explains art director Danilo Dias on the PlayStation Blog, where you can also learn more about his influences.
